Favourite Bout:

BBD vs Stuttgart Valley Rollergirlz in Birmingham last November, her first bout as captain.  There was only six points in it in the final jam, and she was jamming.  The Stuttgart jammer got through the pack first and got lead jammer, Attack chased her down before she could reach the pack again, got infront of her and sat on her so she couldn't get past until the last whistle was blown!
